Shadowgate

I had the most fun with Journeyman difficulty which provides a generous time frame, but lacks puzzles exclusive to Master, which hampered the enjoyment a bit.

In a sea of run-n-guns, platformers, sword and sorcery action games, here was this unique-looking game split into several windows for menu, inventory, and wonderfully-detailed graphics that you wouldn't find in twitchier fare.

Between the different difficulties, different challenges, new things to explore and discover and overcome on each difficulty, new details to notice, and an intricate story to uncover, as well as the various options for display and experience of the game, there are many reasons to play through Shadowgate multiple times.

I ended up playing through all of them in order, and I will say there's a pretty good progression.

The plot is much the same as the original but now told in much more detail with written lore, voice acting and stylised cutscenes to give a sense of epicness to your quest to save the world from the dark wizard.
